The High Toned Theatre Usher.

Nothing insults a high toned usher
more than for a smart Aleck to come in,
find his own seat and sit down. 1t rat
ties him, and he is afraid the manager
will say that he is not fast enough or else
Tom, Dick and Harry would never have
found their seats without being shown.
I throw it out to theatre goers as a pointer
never try to find your seat in theatre,
even if you know it, but permit the usher
to find it for you. The usher conceives a
dislike to you at once if you do without
him, and he says to himself: eff all
should find their seat as he did my occupa
ton would be gone" The usher rarely
ever rises above his position, but from
year to year follows the same beaten
track. Some of them look upon the wine
when it is red after the performance is
over. They do not fraternize with the
actors, though they generally class them
selves among the ''profesh. New York

OH from On Sea Cow.

Gin this little bottle is a specimen of
an oil that is rare because the animal from
which it is extracted is now almost ex-
tinct, and it is an oil which reverses a
well known natural law, and instead Of
becoming putrid or rancid on exposure to
the sun acquires more agreeable Odor
and flavor from such exposure, its origi-
nal odor and flavor being In themselves
pleasant and agreeable. This oil is taken
from the manatee or sea COW of the South
American rivers. This animal has a
layer of solid fat an inch thick next to its
skin, and from this the oil is extracted by
boiling. The fat in the manatees tail is
of much more delicate character than
the body fat, and from it an oil that is
unequalled by olive oil for the table is OBJ
tanned. Manatee oil is in great demand
in South America and the West Indies as
a fine lubricator, an illuminant and for
cooking purposes. l have my doubts
whether there is any manatee oil in this
country besides these few ounces of
mine. New York Sun Interview.
